PowerSeller Invitation..
 

I'm meeting all the requirements for PowerSeller on one of my account, so I'm thinking I will shortly get an invitation from eBay into the PowerSeller program.

Obviously it would be nice, but the problem is ...I use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ addresses on all my accounts ;) They're real addresses here in Japan, but I just don't live there. I know there's a small chance that the PowerSeller welcome letter that eBay sends will make it back to them, especially if someone gets it delivered I don't think they would bother to send it back, but if it does ...does anyone have experience with this? Would they suspend the account if the welcome letter is returned? My guess is yes but just checking if someone had a similar experience.

Well just considered the document as a letter...where I live, I can go to the post office and get a "change of address" form to fill out. Change it back to your real address. When the document arrives, go back to the post office and change it back to the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address(you changed your mind and moved back):D

I guess the timing would have to be accurate. I don't know how long the ebay document would take to get there or when they have a history to send but I've read on this board that it could take 6 weeks to get it.

Why would they suspend your account for returned document? You are naive. Mine was sent to my parents house, so I'll just pick it up.

I'm just thinking if it came back saying "nobody lives here with that name" they would bust my account for using a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address.

I really don't think they will go that far. Maybe you moved.

I wrote a thread on this before and the right address to use.

Oh thread, where art thou?

what about the phone calls they give power sellers for their listing specials they run? i use a good number, but it is for a tracfone that is never turned on. i think the minutes also ran out on it.

although i think there is an option that says you do not want to be called with new ebay specials.

HI: I have several accts with Virtual addresses--no probs so far, But yes- they do call, I checked my voicemail the other day-it was some guy explaining how to increase sales by offering 2nd chance offers---BUT--guess its good they figure I dont know how to do that yet??? :)

I never actually received a PS letter. I'm on my 3rd PS account, all which have used real addresses, and not 1 got the letter.

The first got suspended about 3 months into my PS status, my second about 1 and half months.

My current has been PS for just over a month, but again, no letter.

I have not had a problem so far with negs, i think its best to set up your buyer requirements and offer the full 14 day refund, Also make sure you comunmicate with your buyers and explain to them if you have a problem.

I wonder if they bother calling to Japan, though :D

Found it

there is an option in your notification preferences that allows to block any kind of ebay promotions phone calls or emails. i checked this box stating that i did not want to be contacted. the idiots called me 2 days later with a recording for an invite to the ebay live in chicago.

Thanks Jonas!
